When I was in Grade 4, I started to play table tennis. At that time, I fell in love with this sport deeply. Now, I play table tennis with my classmates almost every day.
Table tennis is an ideal game for us because it can build up our body. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, and promotes the circulation of the blood. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. In addition, it is an indoor game which can be played even on rainy days. Playing table tennis makes me healthy, happy and efficient. Thus, it is my favorite sport.
